About Caller ID

This phone assigns each incoming call a number from 1 to 60. The most recent call will
have the highest number. When the memory is full, the oldest call information is deleted
to make room for new incoming call information. Therefore, you do not have to delete
caller ID records manually.
For each call that comes in, the screen displays the following information between the
first and second rings:
• The caller’s name (15 letters are sent by your telephone company);
• The caller’s area code and telephone number;
• The time and date of the call. If you answer a call before the information appears
